No java in lion?

I feel like this would already have been discussed, but I didn't see anything from a search.
So Lion dropped it's Java Runtime Environment. It'll still download the Snow Leopard version if you run anything java, but that'll get progressively older as time goes on. I suppose this what I'm asking is what this means for me as someone who programs in Java?
Obviously, many people in the development community will keep it installed, but probably not the case for the average game playing community? After I 'finish' () my UDG entry in java, should I just move on to c++ or suchlike?

On Lion, your users will be prompted to auto install Java. And they'll all have it from playing minecraft anyway. Although it does suck that the language is somewhat at the mercy of the regularly changing whims of Apple... *shrugs*
